Carbon Handle for shimano metanium 2020

[jprice92]

Looking for options for a replacement carbon fiber handle for the new metanium, I know of hawgtech but also looking for other options. I looked at zpi but I’m not sure which handle will fit the new metanium. Any help would be appreciated!

The inserts are cheap if you want to just order the CF handle from like a Lews or Abu and use them.

I have a Lews handle with the Winn knobs on one of my Mets. I’d post a picture but I’d prolly get banned.

I got the inserts off Amazon for really cheap.

Could you post a link to the inserts perhaps?

Would a Daiwa RCS handle work with one of those inserts?

Says it fits Met

Gomexus is another good choice and can be had for pretty cheap but aren't lacking in quality

Sure, here’s the ones I bought: LoveinDIY 8 Pieces Strong Fishing Reel Handle Spacer 5x8mm to 4x7mm Aluminium Alloy https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0899XV6QN/re ... bGb8QZKCW9

Worked perfectly.

Basically, the majority of Daiwa/Shimano use a 4x7mm nut while Lews, Abu, etc use a 5x8 mm. But there are exceptions.

This spacer allows you to buy a handle made for 5x8 mm and put it on a 4x7 mm cut spindle.

Daiwa, lews, abu garcia share the same 5x8 handle dimensions and can be swapped between each other. The only variation is the knob spindle that varies in size which only effects what knobs you can use. IE lews 90/95 handle swaps to daiwa but daiwa knovs dont work on the handle.

Shimanos are 4x7 . If you go swept, you’ll also meed to replace the drag star if the offset doesnt provide clearance for using the drag star

Thanks man! Good info, I’ll be ordering one and I’ll try my RCS handle on it and see if I need a new drag star.

I was also looking for a carbon fiber handle in 90mm that didn't have any outlandish logos.. so I ordered this from ebay:

It took about a month to arrive from Ukraine, but I'm very pleased with the quality and fitment with stock shimano knobs and clearance with the drag star:
